GERIATRIC MEDICINE AND ELDERLY CARE
Lecture Notes
Ninth Edition
An essential resource for meeting the needs of an ageing patient population
As the global population ages, geriatric medicine is steadily becoming one of the most important areas of medical research and care. Healthcare systems in developed countries are adapting to this shift in the population, and doctors are finding that a larger and larger proportion of their patients are older. Current medical training often does not include adequate coverage of geriatric medicine, and students may well find they require more extensive resources for meeting older patients' needs.
Lecture Notes: Geriatric Medicine and Elderly Care meets this need with a set of comprehensive but straightforward introductions to the foundational concepts of geriatric medicine. Combining a user-friendly format with extensive high-quality figures and illustrations, it is a must-have resource for medical students looking to deepen their knowledge of a widening area of essential care. Now thoroughly revised and updated to reflect the latest research and medical knowledge of ageing and elder care, this is an essential contribution to the popular Lecture Notes series.
Readers of the ninth edition of Lecture Notes: Geriatric Medicine and Elderly Care will also find:
- New chapters on the 'science of ageing' including immunosenescence and rejuvenation research, and geriatric oncology
- Full coverage of the British Geriatrics Society and European undergraduate curriculums
- A companion website with appendices, key revision points for each chapter and further readings
Lecture Notes: Geriatric Medicine and Elderly Care is ideal for medical students and Foundation Year doctors in most specialties who are treating frail older people. It also provides a starting point for revision for higher specialty examinations in geriatric medicine.
